Chapter 963: Cantonese Banquet (2)
Chen Dongling said with a smile: "Don't mind, you have to eat more at your wedding banquet so that we can get more of the joy."
Brother Chen San said with a big smile: "I attended Ah Shan's wedding today, and I hope to attend our own wedding in three years."
Everyone likes to hear this. Who doesn’t want to go to high school?
Sun Shan quickly replied, "Of course, of course. I'll be waiting for your wedding banquet."
Welcome the fellow passengers in and let Mingge entertain them well.
Sun Shan's whole face was stiff with a smile. Although passing the imperial examination was a very happy thing, he was tired from laughing too much.
But the village chief, Sun Bomin, is not tired at all.
Watching the guests arrive one by one and listening to their congratulations, her smile never stopped.
If it happens a few more times in my life, I wouldn't mind at all.
The village chief stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Bomin, you have raised a good son. Today's honor is brought by Shanzi. Our Sunjia Village has never had such a glorious time."
Sun Bomin was very proud of it and said proudly: "Uncle village chief, Shanzi has set a good example. I believe that the descendants of the Sun family will soon follow Shanzi and bring glory to the family."
The village chief liked what he heard and said cheerfully, "Yeah, that's right. When we get back, we have to catch those kids and make them study hard. Haha, as long as there are more kids studying, there will be more chances of them becoming successful. Haha, our Sunjia Village will have more scholars, juren, and jinshi in the future."
The village chief and Sun Bomin were having a terrible dream late at night.
No need to drink the wedding wine, I'm already drunk.
Sun Shan was watching with great amusement from the side, and let them have their big dream.
You still have to have big dreams, what if they come true one day?
After a while, Lu Yuming also came.
Although Sun Shan and Lu Yuming had only met twice when they went to Beijing for the imperial examination, he had heard of each other's name very early on, and since they were from the same hometown, he felt very close to each other.
Lu Yuming works as a clerk in Nanhai County. It was thoughtful of him to come from a long way to attend his banquet.
When Lu Yuming saw Sun Shan, he smiled and said, "Ashan, congratulations."
Sun Shan hurried over to greet him: "Brother Lu, you are here. I am so happy to see you again."
Sun Shan looked at Lu Yuming carefully. He thought, he was originally a tall and thin talented man, but now he has become a tall, fat and greasy man.
I didn't expect that in less than a year, so much has changed.
It seems that being the boss in Nanhai County is really profitable, otherwise he wouldn't be as fat as a ball.
Lu Yuming said with a smile: "I am also very happy to see you again. Let's write to each other more often in the future. We are from the same hometown after all."
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Of course."
Then he asked, "Brother Lu, it seems that you are living a good life. Haha, you have gained weight."
When it comes to this question, Lu Yuming smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, don't mention it. He used to be handsome, but now he has become fat. Oh, I'm so sad."
Sun Shan was delighted and said happily: "Brother Lu, getting fat is a sign of wealth, and it is a good thing."
Sun Bomin liked what he heard and said with a smile: "You are right, it is better to be fatter, fatter looks better."
Sun Bomin disliked Sun Shan for being too thin and always hoped that he could gain weight, but contrary to his wishes, Sun Shan just couldn't gain weight.
Now he has a big fat granddaughter, whom he actually likes very much, but because she is a girl and not a boy, Sun Bomin dislikes her a little bit.
He hopes his daughter-in-law will give birth to a big fat grandson for his family soon.
Sun Bomin knew that Sun Shan and Lu Yuming were from the same hometown.
Look, when fellow villagers meet, they chat very enthusiastically and seem to be still wanting more.
Sun Bomin said with a big smile: "Good nephew, come in and sit down. If I can't greet you today, please understand."
De Ge'er and Zeng Jiajun quickly welcomed Lu Yuming in. It was a rare occasion to meet a fellow villager from Zhangzhou Prefecture, so everyone felt a sense of familiarity.
Most of the relatives and friends had arrived, and then many businessmen from nearby came.
Some of them come here specifically to show their faces and make themselves known.
Some people deliberately bring their children here to share in the good cheer.
Some people just put down their gifts and leave. As for the purpose, it varies from person to person.
Guests are welcome and bring gifts. There is no reason to chase them away.
The male members of the family were entertained by the village chief, Sun Shan, and Sun Boming, while the female members of the family were entertained by Su and Yun Jie'er one by one.
Su was obviously quite nervous. Looking at the guests at today's banquet, they were all wearing gold and silver, and their status was much higher than that of the people in Sunjia Village.
Su tugged at the new clothes made by the embroidery workshop, touched the gold hairpin on her head, and then looked at the valuable gold bracelet. Although she was dressed very extravagantly, she was still timid for some reason.
Today, Su is the head lady of the family, and she should be at the forefront even more than Sister Yun.
But Su has always been domineering at home, and she doesn't dare to rush forward when she sees someone outside who is more domineering than her.
She asked Yun Jie'er to entertain the guests well, and she snatched Xiaoxiao from He Shuqiang on purpose, under the pretext of taking care of the child, and was busy, so she asked Yun Jie'er to entertain the guests.
Sister Yun didn't quite understand Su's personality, but Brother Shan had told her before to look after her mother-in-law and let her be the first to entertain the guests.
So Sister Yun stood in the front, and Su stood in the back holding her fat daughter, to welcome the distinguished guests in gorgeous clothes.
When Chen saw Su holding Yun Jie'er and standing behind Yun Jie'er like a little wife, she couldn't help but laugh.
Although Su is a rural woman and is deeply patriarchal, she is better than many others by not making any trouble in public occasions.
She is especially good at letting her daughter-in-law take the lead, while she herself will step back if she doesn't understand. In this respect, she is much better than many mothers-in-law.
So Chen smiled and said to Su kindly: "My dear, you have worked hard. I heard from Sister Yun that Xiaoxiao is the one who clings to you the most. She pesters you all day and wants you to hold her. Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you with my little grandson."
Su pulled her face and forced a smile: "It's not a problem. Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter. If I don't hold her, who will?"
I don’t want to hug her anymore. Who wants to hug my granddaughter?
If I were to hug someone, it would definitely be my grandson.
But now I don’t have a grandson, so I have no choice but to have a granddaughter.
This fat granddaughter is really something, why does she always pester her?
Humph, if it weren't for Zhong Shanzi, I really wanted to throw her away. She loves to torture people and is not well-behaved at all.
Aunt Sun was very satisfied with Su's performance today, especially Xiaoxiao in her arms, who smiled at Su all day long, proving that she liked Su very much and that Su often hugged Xiaoxiao and liked Xiaoxiao.
The little girl is not stupid. If Su was not a good person, she would not smile at her.
Aunt Sun nodded with a smile and said, "Grandma Xiaoxiao, our Xiaoxiao is so well-behaved, who wouldn't like her? Our Sun family is so lucky to have married Yun Jie'er. Now that we have Xiaoxiao, we are even more blessed. Grandma Xiaoxiao, thank you for marrying such a good Yun Jie'er to our Sun family."
Everyone likes to hear nice words, and what Aunt Sun says is nice.
Chen smiled and said, "No, no, our family is very happy to have Xiaoxiao's father as our son-in-law."
Then Chen and Aunt Sun flattered each other, and Su responded from time to time while holding her little fat girl.
Su really wanted to retort that marrying Sister Yun was not a blessing at all. If he were blessed, he would have had grandchildren long ago.
It’s just that the Chen family is large and powerful, so the Su family had to bow down.
